Sodexo has been managing student accommodation services at Northumbria University since 2014. The new contract will see Sodexo introduce a brand-new catering offer at Trinity Square student accommodation serving hot drinks and grab and go items such as paninis and pastries.
The team will ‘transform’ the currently under-utilised space at the accommodation to further enhance the student experience creating a fantastic live learning experience that creates a true home from home atmosphere.
Sian Thompson, national operations director of Universities & PFIs at Sodexo UK & Ireland, said: “We are proud of our long-standing partnership with Northumbria University.
“There is a strong cultural fit between our organisations, and we are committed to continually delivering a leading facilities management service alongside the award-winning residency living model, with aligned goals and strategic objectives. This next contractual period brings with it some exciting service developments and we expect to achieve great things by continuing to work in a strategic and trusted partnership.”
